Headso:He hired a company called "Crowds on Demand", I wonder how many politicians actually use this service?

Generally, you get your party to scare up the bodies for you. For the Dems, that means the unions and local party folks, most of whom want to be "important" in their little corner of the Party.

Weiner is a joke. No party, no supporters, and reporters who are salivating and stalking every goddamn thing he or anyone on his campaign does, in the hopes of piling on the embarrassment. I have no idea why he's still doing this.

It's his wife. She's Hillary 2.0.

Not any more, she's not. Her husband - whether or not she were to ever divorce him - will be too closely associated with her, and she would be BURIED in the primaries. I'll be gobsmacked if she has any kind of public role in the Clinton campaign.

Free meals? He must have donor cash that can only be used on the campaign. He keeps going to siphon off the funds.

Really?!? The one event where everyone was holding the same sign, and he was walking around with a huge flag and waving to all the cameras like he just won the goddamn 101st Honeyc*nt Beauty Pageant? You're telling me that was staged?!?

She won't have a public role. She's a facilitator and a conduit for foreign money.

mediablitz:Everything about this story is awesome. unpaid interns acting in campaign commercials. The spokesperson saying they would NEVER do anything questionable. Using limp to describe the Weiner campaign.

That's presuming that Hillary is going to run. And the only people who seem certain of that are the far right wing, and whenever they're dead certain of anything, I start laying my money on the other side.

Remember at about this same point leading up to the '08 election, when it was gonna be Giuliani vs Clinton?

"We've never heard of this company and certainly never used them," said spokeswoman Barbara Morgan. "We are proud we've always had the biggest and most fired-up crowds. That's enthusiasm the other campaigns just can't buy."

Soon after that statement, the campaign released a new commercial using interns to pose as regular New Yorkers who support the long-shot candidate.
